I have completely re-written the code behind Bernie's movements from scratch. I'm hopeful the new architecture will prove to be much more flexible and mean that I spend less time debugging and more time building! He also has a new brain because the previous Arduino Mega packed up and would not communicate with the computer at all.

For now, he looks the same as he always has, with only some head and neck motions to make him look alive at all. Those motions are much more realistic though, and if you leave him alone he will just slowly look around the room in a random pattern.

Life has changed a lot since I last posted, but I've got some time now and I want to push Bernie a lot more than I have in the past. I aim to have him walking in the next few weeks, and then I can start to look to some new features, and he might start to look like a real dragon!
